If you’re helping to create a more sustainable future in our region, now is the time to celebrate your work and boost your impact in the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Awards.
Nominations are now open for the annual excellence awards program, which seeks to recognise those driving positive change in our biosphere.
You can nominate yourself or another person, business, group or organisation for the excellence awards at the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Awards webpage.
Mayor Rosanna Natoli, who chairs the Sunshine Coast Biosphere coordinating committee, says celebrating our sustainability champions will amplify their efforts and help them succeed.
“People are at the heart of our Sunshine Coast Biosphere,” Mayor Natoli says.
“These excellence awards showcase our region’s leaders, innovators, educators and movements and the contributions they make for a better future, inspiring others in turn.
“It’s a chance to truly recognise the amazing achievements in the north, south, east and west of our region. To those who are driving positive change for a sustainable future, I invite you to consider: how could the biosphere awards raise the profile of your cause and maximise your impact?”
Sunshine Coast Biosphere Community Advisory Group chair Anna Owen expects to see strong competition in the excellence awards.
“Our biosphere continues to thrive because of the high calibre of sustainability leadership and the community-led action that drives it,” Mrs Owen says.
“With so many exceptional initiatives emerging across our region, the competition for these awards will be incredibly strong – a true reflection of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere community.”
Nominations close on May 4.
